Strictly Come Dancing's Stacey Dooley has shared a cute gift from her daughter Minnie.
The documentary maker posted a photo on Instagram showing a small plastic Oscar statue alongside a note (with little paper hands). "To mummy, we are so proud of you. Love you, Daddy and Minnie," the note reads.
In the caption, Stacey wrote: "Guys. I won an Oscar. And it was hand delivered."

Stacey and her partner, professional dancer Kevin Clifton, welcomed daughter Minnie at the start of 2023, but they're not looking to follow parenthood up with marriage any time soon.
"Marriage has never been massively important to me. Also, it's well-documented that Kev's done it a couple of times before," she said last year, referencing Kevin's marriages to Anna Melnikova (2003 to 2005), Clare Craze (2008 to 2013), and Karen Hauer (2015 to 2018).
"So, you do have to bear that in mind, coming down the aisle like, 'Hello everyone, I know what you're all thinking'. It's just never been something I've dreamt about. But I couldn't have done this (motherhood) without Kev. It's weird. I've always loved him, but it's a different love I have for Kev now."

"I don't subscribe to the idea that you offer more stability if you're married because we know loads of marriages end in divorce. But Kev, I don't want to sound too gushing or soppy, but I couldn't have done this without Kev. I couldn't have done this with anyone else," she added.
She also said that the pair aren't looking to have a second child just yet.
